Strangers coming to st. Paul have often
expressed their surprise that man so young
and fresh-looking as Col. Monfort, of the
Windsor hotel, should be bald-headed and
what hair ne has should be streaked with
gray. They have commended that these dis
tinguishing features are not in conformity
with his apparent age, and there is good
deal of anxiety displayed to know why this is
true. The fact is that for long number of
years Col. Monfort has been in the habit of
OiV vi nj IN nf far
to a delicious punch which has attained
wide celebrity. His guests became infatu-
ated with 1t. and, sad to relate, the colonel
caught the infection. He ate it ut every OPP
portunity, and oftentimes his meal was made
on this alone. 1t was very rich, and, of
course, permeated the coloners whole sys-
TEN. The result is apparent The colonel's
shining pate is illustrative of good living,
just as much as is the foot of an epicure who
has the govt. And, despite the warning ex-
ample, the coloners guests follow closely in
his footsteps. They do not heed the warn
ing. and it will be noticed that a goodly pro-
portion Of them are fast growing bald.

There is rumor floating about that Col.
Stanford Newell looks with q jealous eye
upon Eon. E. G.. Rogers, and that he is not
at all pleased with the prominent part the
latter played in the recent legislature. Col.
Newell is alleged to be ambitious, and there
are those who believe that Mr.. Rogers is
somewhat afflicted in the same direction.
For long time past it has been understood
that Col. Newell has had his eye on a seat in
congress, and only awaited favorable OPP
portunity to unmask himself and boldly
spring into the arena. The mag nificent vic
tory of Mayor Rice disconnected him, how
ever, and he has since been in doubt about
making the attempt in 1883 for fear of de-
feat. But he was young and could walt
And the plum could be picked by him when
ever he wanted it! The colonel rested COM
fortably in this assurance until the conven-
ing of the legislature. Then AIR. Rogers be-
! gan to loom up, ard it was not long before
he was limited at as a possible congressional
candidate. AT once Mr.. Newell pricked up
his ears, and the course of Mr.. Rogers has
been closely watched ever since. An init
| mate friend of Col Newers says he is not
exactly scared, but he don't look as serenely
confident as he did three months ago.

Due recognition, in q public manner, has
| never been given of the valuable services of
| Chief Clerk John Howard during the re-
cent session of the legislature. He is one of
| the best clerks in America, and performed
his duties in manner which but few men
in Minnesota could do. A session of the leg
| islature without John Howard would be like
the play of "Ham''-or, what would be "a
more appropriate comparison, banquet at
the Merchants with Col. Allen left out.
